Question

What kind of wave is caused by seismic activity?

Answer 1

S-waves and P-waves.

Explanation:

There are two types of waves that are caused bys seismic activity. The first kind is S-waves, and P-waves.

S-waves can travel through the Earth's crust until they get to the liquid mantle, and P-waves have the ability to travel all the way through the Earth's crust. Because of this, earthquakes caused by P-waves can be felt on the other side of the planet if they are strong enough, although the impact of the shockwave will be reduced as it travels through the earth.
